No, BG3 has only a few redeeming qualities, and the abundance of sex scenes is one of them. I mean, why ever play this game if not for sex scenes? It has trivial plot, boring combat system, banal spells and forgettable characters.
Have you heard about porn games?
Hm, I haven't played any of them yet. Could you please give me a few recommendations?

Actually try Kamidori Alchemy Meister. Strategy turnbased battles, economics + big anime titties and pink vaginas!

It's no porn game, but the loot parts are at least non-woke and very male power fantasy! You collect hentai pussy like pokemons. Kinda like an Genghis Khan genetics spread simulator

Larian shits out cringe. Kodex makes sure it gets the deserved second place.

I wonder how much you're going to seethe when Larian's next game will win GOTY again.
Swen’s gonna be surprised by the next game sales numbers without the famous franchise and those who he scammed during the bg3 EA.

Or are you telling me anybody is interested in the Original Cringe setting lol?

This is literally the highest this cuck squad ever climbed in their entire history, wake up.

You do know DOS2 was a massive success too right?

Yeah I don't think people care so much about D&D these days. The D&D fans they won over will most likely buy their next game with whatever generic fantasy setting too. And besides this website there is even less people that actually played Baldurs Gate 1 or 2. I don't think you make a lot of sense and I'm no Larian fan at all

Another is to simply return to camp and rest after every combat, since the only limitation on doing so is consumption of food which is oversupplied
I actually ran out of food on 2-3 occasions and had to hang by the thread, while rummaging through furniture to find anything edible. It was in that cursed area.

Towards the end, I had food for 10+ rests. It's very uneven.

How many are there? The reptile offered me a sex scene at the end of Act 1, but then I don't think anything else ever came up. Of course I killed all gay joinable NPCs on sight, so maybe that's it.

The overtly gay and pushy npc is the gay bear druid, who will insist on dicking the player character even upon being rejected. This is doubly annoying because you need the gay bear druid in order to save Thaniel and fix the shadow curse.

Astarion and the other characters are not so overtly "playersexual", at least in my playthroughs. The gith is an exception though and overtly horny.

Choosing one of the weaker classes(i.e: Rogue) improves difficulty challenge btw. Or restricting yourself(only play pure class builds).

Sadly some classes and builds are op in 5e and that carried over to the game exceedingly. Multiclass is something they added late in development cycle and didn't balance out I think.

I like some of the changes they made to the ruleset though - like making monks actually hold their own.

Funny, I didn't notice that in my playthrough, at least not yet (and I'm in Act3). Instead, I felt all the other male characters came across as gay.
My uncle was gay and I never had a problem with that, so I'm not sure I qualify for a faggot hater member card, but I definitely thought it was annoying in this game. There's far too much alphabet people centric stuff, so much is for sure.

Rogue is really strong eaely game tho. Sneak attack is OP early, just doesn't scale well late game.

Right, that’s exactly why Larian went after Baldur’s Gate franchise. Make yourself a favor — stop being delusional.

Contrary to what they stated previously the modding tools does seem to support creation of new content. This guide of theirs specifically goes into adding new characters and quests:

https://baldursgate3.game/mods/#/r/1319

Could bode very well for the game longterm... if modders who are not cringe create good content that is.

With AI voice generation tools and etc one could also easily expand the game content.
great all we need is someone who can do all this stuff and doesnt suck at making quests

Not sure if level 5, when martial classes get 2nd attack and casters get 3rd level spells, qualifies as "late game".

DOS2 sold atleast 7.5 million copies lol, stop coping.

Larian was already a success before BG3, now they're also mainstream success.

Rogue is strong pretty much until underdark/mountain pass. Then it falls off a cliff compared to pretty much all classes. Its main feature is sneak attack and since you can only do it once a round it immediately becomes a weaker damage dealer than pretty much all martials and spellcasters. 1d6 extra damage every two levels becomes weaker and weaker class progression beyond, and the 3 kits have no great addition beyond level 3. Reliable talent sounds great on tabletop, but in this game where you have so many buffs to rolls and can reroll using inspiration points... it hardly matters.

I had a lot of fun playing a pure class assassin and getting around the limitations, but it is what it is. It gets worse lategame.
